Summary

Established in January 1939, Australian Consolidated Industries (ACI) was a holding company, consisting of subsidiary companies that manufactured items such as bottles, glassware, sheet glass, engineering products and plastics.

Its subsidiary companies were then created through reconstitution and restructuring, including the registrations of Australian Glass Manufacturers Co. Pty. Ltd. and ACI Plastics Pty Ltd.

Other subsidiary companies in 1939 included:
